NCT Booking Bot: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about booking your NCT test, finding cancellation slots, and using our fast booking bot in Ireland.

Can you guarantee a slot for tomorrow?

While we cannot generate slots, our 24/7 scanning makes us the fastest way to catch cancellations. If a slot opens, you will be the first to know.

Is this better than the official priority list?

Yes. While the official priority list operates as a standard queue, our Priority Alert Service utilizes information systems to monitor publicly available data for released cancellation slots. When a slot is made available by NCTS, we notify you instantly via WhatsApp or Telegram, enabling you to secure an earlier booking and significantly reduce your waiting time.

How do I receive the booking link?

Directly to your phone via your chosen messenger app.

How much does the NCT Booking Bot cost?

Our standard search is free to try, but our Priority Alert Service costs €5.99 for 7 days of 24/7 monitoring. This ensures you get instant notifications for cancellation slots.

Can I book an NCT test in a different county?

Yes! You can select any of the 50 test centres. Many drivers find faster slots by checking nearby centres (e.g., checking NCT Northpoint if Deansgrange is full).

What happens if I miss the notification?

Cancellation slots go fast. If you miss one, don't worry - our bot keeps searching and will notify you of the next available appointment immediately.

Do I need to pay the NCT fee separately?

Yes, our fee is for the search service. You still pay the standard NCT test fee (€60) directly to the NCTS when you confirm your booking on their website.
